While gardening nourishes the soul, it can challenge the body, especially those gardeners who cannot walk, reach or bend freely. The first thing to consider in designing a garden for those who use a wheelchair is access. Paths or walkways both to and in the garden must be wide enough and made of a material that allows easy movement of the wheelchair. "It must be smooth and level [side to side] with no steep slopes," says Jack Carman, a landscape architect in Medford, N.J., who designs therapeutic gardens for senior communities.

CALL THEM the low-budget lefties -- low budget translating to, oh, approximately $1 million per year. Their names are Bill Krueger and Don Carman, and the Orioles have them on their 'B' list of free agents in the event they fail to sign lefthander Matt Young.The club offered contracts to both Young and first baseman/outfielder Franklin Stubbs last Wednesday, but the way free-agent salaries keep soaring, there's a good chance both players will be prohibitively expensive.Welcome to the recession, major-league style: Lefthander Ken Dayley yesterday signed a three-year, $6.3 million contract with Toronto, righthander Steve Farr the same deal with the New York Yankees.
